80s/90s kids,Anyone else overwhelmed with sheer amount of info? I feel as if / know my parents did zero training and we just had great dogs. Trying to do my due diligence and look up info and be a good dog parent.

Just Got a 7.5 Week old Black Lab puppy who is just prescious. I've been trying to prep for the first 3-4 weeks before we got her,. watching videos, reading articles and it just seems like there are so many methods and opinions.

Playpen or no playpen, crying In crate for 20 min is fine, but no that 20 min is torture. Plus how do you know if something is just her being young and rambunctious or is it the path to separation anxiety?

All I want is to be able to have a pooch comfortable in her crate, learns eventually not to bite and avoids separation anxiety. Honestly the other stuff could come later as long as she's fed ,watered , safe and happy.

My parents did none of thisi with both of our dogs in our young life into the college years .Sure we had issues with chewing and stuff with pups but eventually they just became great dogs who were good on a leash , good recall and just existed in the house , no crates, gates or anything.

I feel like everyone else's dog I knew growing up were the same way.
